Dear young academics and researchers from Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine,
we would like to present to you the Winter School in European Integration, which is carried out by the Europa-Institut of the Saarland University with financial support from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). It will take place at the Europa-Institut in Saarbrücken from January 11 – 20, 2015. The Winter School’s theme is “Democracy and Human Rights in the European Union”. A broad variety of lectures, taught by academics and practitioners, will help the participants to systematically explore the chances and limits of European integration in promoting democracy and protecting human rights.
